Welder Apprentice Training
Provides comprehensive training in gas and arc welding
Pre-technical skills in industrial math, measurements, and workplace safety, help trainees build basic knowledge before tackling the specific courseware they need to achieve success as professional welders.
Students learn all about metal cutting, drilling, and AC and DC electrical principles, as well as testing and troubleshooting. Since the best method for perfecting welding skills is through repeated practice, make sure your employees have easy and frequent access to up-to-date gas and arc welding equipment.
Designed in line with Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training (BAT) standards, the Welder Apprentice Training curriculum works best in combination with on-the-job training, giving students an opportunity to apply the important skills they learn here. Expect program graduates to be able to:
- Describe the electrode color system.
- Select the proper tip for gas welding.
- Read basic welding prints.
- Explain the start up procedure for arc welding.
- Describe the various uses of Gas Tungsten Arc Welding.
- Discuss the use of Gas Metal Arc Welding.
- Select the proper shielding gases for welding.
- Describe the procedures for the inspection of welds.
- Discuss the procedures for nondestructive testing of welds.
- Select the proper filler metal for a particular job.
